                             BORDER CRISIS

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak to the human tragedy 
that is President Biden's border crisis.
  From day one, the Biden administration has blatantly ignored U.S. 
immigration laws and policies that are designed to keep America safe. 
The consequences from the human trafficking, the sex trafficking, and 
the drug trafficking are devastating.
  Under the incompetent administration of Biden and his Border Czar, 
the Vice President, and DHS Secretary Mayorkas, savage drug cartels now 
control our U.S. border and are sending massive amounts of deadly 
fentanyl illegally into our communities, including mine in the 
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Worse, they are now smuggling rainbow-
colored and candy-flavored drugs across our border in an effort to 
target our children.
  Biden's disastrous open border and amnesty policies have made this 
crisis worse every single day, but he is blind to see the chaos at our 
border. Americans are justifiably outraged by his failed leadership.
  Border Czar Kamala Harris recently said that the border is secure. 
The only thing that is secure is the cash flow to the drug cartels so 
long as Biden's border crisis continues.
